A Breath of Air for DMOZ

Announcing some exciting changes for DMOZ, formerly known as the Open Directory Project, or ODP.

Seemingly stagnant for years, the directory formerly known variously as the Open Directory project, ODP, Directory Mozilla, or DMOZ, is focusing its brand, and will be using DMOZ as its sole name, and its logo has been changed to reflect this. Having edited there when it was primarily known as the ODP or Open Directory Project, that will be hard one for me to remember, but the new generation of editors have already come to embrace the directory as DMOZ, so it's probably a sensible move. If nothing else, it indicates that someone is alive and well at DMOZ, and that is welcome news. Click.

DMOZ is also fazing in a system that they are calling Regional Trees. While DMOZ has always had a rich regional category, albeit stagnant in recent years, this takes it a step further and allow its users to click into its Regional Tree icon, and be presented with sites from all around the region, and not strictly the one locality they might be in. Being on the outside looking in, I can't tell you just how this works but, again, it is always nice to see something new from DMOZ. Click.

If you are, by any chance, unfamiliar with DMOZ, the grandfather of web directories, you might be interested in knowing that they are still soliciting volunteer editors. From my own experience, I can assure you that it was a good one (experience), and it's a great way to learn your way around web directories.

Note: From time to time, I will be posting announcements of special offers, new features, or other items of interest, as they relate to reputable web directories. The purpose of these announcements is promotional, but they are not paid advertisements, nor am I posting advertising copy from anyone. In every case, these will be my words, my sentiments, and my understanding of whatever it is that I am announcing. Please feel free to let me know if you have something new, however, whether it is a dated promotion or a more permanent feature, and I'll consider it for a promotion here. Is that clear, Google, if you're listening? This is not an advertisement, and it is intended to be a vote.-- admin@webdirectoryreviews.org
